The Doting Father's Looks, Going to School

[You volunteered to go to the battlefield, your body's illness erupted, and your Taijutsu ability rapidly declined.]

[You found the enemy who killed Master Chen and avenged your master.]

[Due to your illness outbreak and the heavy price you paid to kill the enemy, you were on the verge of death, but there were no Medical Ninjas around you.]

[As you were dying, you saw Kakashi Hatake with a Sharingan, and Rin Nohara healed you, but it was no use.]

[Kakashi Hatake said you should have achieved greater things.]

[You bled to death...]

[Simulation ended.]

[System Evaluation: Although lazy, it was a life of loyalty and righteousness. You went to the battlefield to avenge your master, and your courage is commendable.]

[Evaluation Level: 2]

[Reward obtained: Level 2 Physique Enhancement]

[Reward Selection Card obtained: Nara]

Simulation ended.

Naruto closed his eyes, feeling the Level 2 Physique Enhancement.

Compared to Level 1, the increase at Level 2 was significantly larger.

At this moment, Naruto's physique had completely lost all traces of stunted growth.

There was also a Reward Selection Card.

As Naruto had guessed, he chose to obtain the character's Taijutsu mastery.

Streams of familiar yet unfamiliar memories appeared in Naruto's mind.

Those Taijutsu techniques and muscle memory were completely integrated into Naruto by the system.

Naruto opened his system panel.

He discovered that his combat power had increased from "trash tier" to 824.

This improvement was undeniable.

Having benefited, Naruto smacked his lips and turned his attention to the last simulation opportunity.

This time, Naruto could draw attributes from three characters.

And this character was theoretically the strongest among Naruto's three simulation opportunities.

"System, continue simulation!"

[Character surname draw complete: Mikami, Hata, Aoi]

[Character talent draw complete: Shouji, Duoji, Pantsu]

[...]

[Character appearance draw complete: two trash, Minato Namikaze]

Third simulation.

The drawn attribute characters left Naruto somewhat disappointed.

Naruto didn't recognize any of these characters.

It was evident that even in the original work, these people were mere background characters.

Except for the appearance, which was supported by his biological father, everything else was trash.

Moreover, in the simulation, they only lived for a mere ten years.

In the end, nothing remained except for their appearance.

Fortunately, the lowest evaluation after the system simulation was 1, and Naruto's physique improved again.

Naruto was much better off now compared to before.

The previous Naruto clearly showed signs of stunted growth.

But now, the thinness was gone, and he had become healthy.

For the character abilities in the third simulation, Naruto only chose appearance.

Because the other abilities were not even as strong as his own.

However, when Naruto looked in the mirror.

He found that his appearance hadn't changed much from before.

So, Naruto mentally questioned the system: "System, didn't we merge with my biological father's appearance? Why is there no change?"

[Ding~ To prevent the host from suddenly changing and being discovered, the system thoughtfully adopted a gradual process. It will change your appearance little by little over the next three months, which will help the host conceal its abilities.]

After listening to the system's explanation, Naruto nodded slightly.

As expected of the system, its considerations were thorough.

All three simulations were used up, and Naruto obtained 2 Level 1 Physique Enhancements and 1 Level 2 Physique Enhancement.

His Taijutsu skills in his youth could rival Kakashi Hatake's.

Along with Minato Namikaze's good looks, which would arrive successively.

Plus, the purchasing power of 400,000 silver taels.

The difference between this and getting rich overnight was that it felt even better than getting rich overnight.

Naruto looked at the zeroed-out simulation chances on the system panel and began to question the system.

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

"System, how do I get simulation chances?"

[Ding~ Every once in a while, the system will issue a mission. The host can choose to accept or reject it. If rejected, the system will generate a mission of equal difficulty. Completing the mission will grant simulation chances.]

So that's how it is.

I wonder when the missions will be released.

But Naruto wasn't in a hurry.

Just like his personality, he was more go-with-the-flow and preferred a simple life.

Besides, the missions issued by the system were not mandatory.

This also gave Naruto a sense of freedom, of not being constrained.

At this stage, Naruto Uzumaki was still studying at the Ninja Academy.

The next day.

After getting up and washing, Naruto slung his schoolbag over his shoulder and headed to the Ninja Academy.

Because Naruto was a transmigrator, his personality was different from the original work.

Although Naruto's image in Konoha wasn't great even now.

Naruto had never played pranks, so everyone treated him as a nobody.

Naruto also enjoyed this feeling of solitude.

It was nice not to be bothered!

After solving the breakfast problem.

Naruto appeared at the entrance of the Ninja Academy along the way.

Ninja students were arriving in twos and threes, led by their parents.

But Naruto didn't recognize most of them.

Regarding the situation where everyone else had parents sending them off.

Perhaps Naruto would have been sentimental before.

But after awakening his past life memories, he had let go.

Naruto was more interested in this world.

He wanted to see the characters and plot from the original work.

So, at this stage, it was best to improve his strength as much as possible.

Naruto entered the classroom and saw familiar characters from his memories one after another.

The shy Hinata, the noisy Sakura Haruno and Ino.

The sleepy Shikamaru and the arrogant Kiba Inuzuka.

As mentioned before.

Because Naruto didn't play pranks or act naughty.

He had almost no interaction with anyone.

Only one little princess with Byakugan would occasionally pay silent attention to Naruto.

However, Naruto didn't approach her to say hello.

To outsiders, he was just a demon now.

Naruto didn't know if the Hyuga Clan knew the truth behind the Nine-Tails incident back then.

But what he did know was that if anyone from the Hyuga Clan discovered him interacting with Hinata.

Something bad would definitely happen.

Naruto walked to his seat and sat down.

His seat: the back row by the window.

After sitting down, Naruto and Hinata, who was secretly observing him, made eye contact.

Hinata, like a startled sprite, quickly looked away.

She placed her hands neatly in front of her, pretending to be focused on the lesson.

A touch of blush appeared on her crystal clear, lovely face.

But in reality, Iruka hadn't even entered the classroom yet.

Naruto showed a slight smile, and couldn't help but think to himself: She's really pure and cute~

Not long after, Iruka entered the classroom.

He directly announced one thing.

There would be a written exam today!

After he said this, the students below reacted in various ways.

Sakura Haruno and Ino exchanged a glance, with lightning faintly flashing between their eyes.

The top three spots in written exams were usually taken by Sakura Haruno, Ino, and Hinata.

Shino and Sasuke hovered around the top five.

Every written exam was, in reality, a competition between Sakura Haruno and Ino.

Sakura Haruno nudged Ino with her elbow and whispered, "Ino, if you lose this time, you have to be my wingman."
